Windows 7: technicalsupportxxx popups back after I upgraded MiniTool Partition...

technicalsupportxxx popups back after I upgraded MiniTool Partition...

technicalsupportxxx popups back after I upgraded to MiniTool Partition Wizard Free 9.0 but so far only when visiting a tripod website. I guess I am just I just going to have to block this site in the host file. It just gets annoying. Here is the site she visited, 404 Not Found warning a flash video my start playing. She clicked on the ad to stop playing and the virus warning popped upped. At least I have an image backup.

Normally, I would follow Jacee advice but I know what software I have installed on my computer. I am not a novice. Yes, unfortunately EPSON printer driver software can be considered to be a pup. I tried deleting those google chrome stuff, it actually crashed my google chrome and opera browsers. The other is weather channel app add-on for Google Chrome and I use it.

I don't know if removing this keys will prevent Epson Printer from working or not. I have confirmed these keys are installed after installing the Epson printer drives.

I had an old back up I knew was clean.
It had Windows 7 and Lubuntu
My newer system had Windows 7 an Xubuntu.

So here is what I did.
I did an image restore the old Windows 7 with Lubuntu partiton. Then I boot into windows. Tried to get that bad site to show again, no luck. As a precaution, using Macrium Reflect, I just restored only the windows 7 partition. Then using mini partition wizard boot disk, I deleted the Lubuntu and the Linux swap file. Then using the windows 7 & Xubuntu image that had the possible problem. I restored only the Xubuntu partition using Macrium Reflect which restores the correct grub. Then I did some resizing of the partitions and created a new Linux swap partition using the mini partition wizard boot disk. Then booted into windows 7 and update everything I could think of. Ran Macrium Reflect backup and backed up everything, finally I installed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Nothing was found. After verification of restoring the backup. I will delete the possible bad image file. I hope I made sense.

Dont worry, i've experimented with Linux(arch linux) before so i know what you are talking about. So if thats case it is solved right?

Most viruses, malware can't infect Linux(I not saying Linux is immune it is just harder). It also harder for a windows virus, malware to do a rootkit or write to a mbr if Grub 2 is installed. Linux people will clobber me for saying this, Grub2 is a virus in a way because it changes the boot sectors. A virus won't install if another virus is already there in most cases.

I was telling you how I had to restored using a combo of MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 8.1.1 and Macrium reflect because I deleted an image backup I should of kept. So I had to use a combo of the image backups as well.

It very hard for me to explain things. I also don't agree with MVPS sometimes. I am actually a little mad at bit defended traffic light, it should of stopped the website from even loading.

I think I know what maybe causing it but I got to confirm it. This time I did an image backup. Most of my image backups are done outside of windows.

Minitool Partition Wizard killed my WindowsHi!
I just tried the tool mentioned above to resize my partitions.
I'm running W7x64 on a SATA drive and XP on IDE, so I can startup both depending on which disk I set as boot disk in my BIOS.
So far things were running fine but ever since I tried to resize my Win7 partition to have more room...
